But she already has the 50mm, 85mm and 135mm that will work on the camera.
So just advice her to get a standard zoom like the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 EX DG HSM and the Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 VC. And then a macro if she really wants a macro lens. The Tokina 35mm f2.8 DX would be a good choice, as it is both a good substitute for the 35mm f1.8 you mention and a macro lens.
